“The crypto revolution will come”, some people say. But when? This is one of the most debated issues in the crypto community ever. Everybody wants to know when Bitcoin will finally fulfill its promise. Now, Elon Musk has given his take on the subject.
Elon Musk talked about cryptocurrencies during a recent episode of ARK Invest’s FYI podcast. After some time, the podcasters stopped talking about Tesla and Musk’s enterprises and started to ask about cryptos.
He thought it was funny to talk about cryptos because there are so many scammers impersonating him and offering fake cryptos to people that he simply could not think it was funny. According to Musk, he even joined them asked kiddingly “you wanna buy some Bitcoin?”, which made his account be suspended for a while.
According to him, there is an automatic mechanism that suspends people trying to sell Bitcoin on Twitter and he was targeted by it.
Elon Musk Talks About Bitcoin
After stopping the jokes, Musk affirmed that the structure of Bitcoin was “quite brilliant” to him and that he admired the token a lot. However, he did not intend to get himself into the crypto industry. According to Musk, it would not be a good use of the resources of his companies to get into this area and he will leave this interesting field to other people who are interested in making a profit with it.
Speaking about the downsides that cryptocurrencies might have, the only criticism that he made was that Bitcoin was very energy intensive. He sees as a problem that, in order to mine tokens, you have to spend so much electric energy. This, he believes, puts some inevitable constraints in creating cryptos.
His argument is not unique. Several people argue that Bitcoin should be less energy-intensive as it is simply too expensive to mine and it wastes too much energy. However, some people also argue that the structure is like this to make mining safer because the equations have to be complex.
Finally, Elon Musk affirmed that paper is going away soon and that he believes that Bitcoin has a big chance of replacing it. According to him, one of the biggest advantages of Bitcoin is to be a fluid route to bypass currency controls. This constitutes Bitcoin as a way better way to transfer value than using paper and can be what will lead Bitcoin to finally achieve its final goal.
At the end of the interview, Musk clarified that Tesla is not going to start selling Bitcoin and that people should not buy from “him” on Twitter. So, if you see Elon Musk offering Bitcoin, it is probably a scammer.

Dogecoin is neutral in the short-term after the recent rally in the pair failed to break above a former key swing-high
DOGE / USD is bearish in the medium-term with price still trading below the neckline of a sizeable head and shoulders pattern
Large amounts of bullish MACD divergence seen on the daily time frame
Dogecoin / USD Short-term price analysis
In the short-term, Dogecoin is neutral due to the pair failing to move above a former key swing-high during its most recent upside rally.
The cryptocurrency is starting to turn lower in the near-term, although price is still above the pair’s 200-period moving average on the four-hour time frame.
Technical indicators on the mentioned time frame are turning lower with further scope to push the DOGE / USD even pair lower.
DOGE / USD H4 Chart (Source: TradingView)
Pattern Watch
The recent rally has created a bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern on the four-hour time frame, which should be monitored closely over the short-term.
MACD Indicator
The MACD indicator is trending lower on the four-hour time frame with a bearish crossover underway.
Relative Strength Index
The RSI indicator has turned bearish, with push bears taking control below the neutral line.
Dogecoin / USD Medium-term price analysis
Dogecoin remains bearish over the medium-term, with buyers unable to move price above the neckline of a large head and shoulders pattern on the daily time frame.
A long-term technical bottom has yet to be confirmed in the cryptocurrency, as price remains relatively close to the pair’s multi-year trading lows, despite the broader market rally.
Interestingly, Dogecoin is showing bullish MACD divergence on the daily time frame from November of last year.
DOGE / USD Daily Chart (Source: TradingView)
Pattern Watch
The bearish head and shoulders pattern is the major theme to watch on the daily time frame.
MACD Indicator
The MACD indicator remains neutral and is currently failing to generate a clear trading signal.
Relative Strength Index
The Relative Strength Index has recently started to recover after an extended period of downward pressure. The indicator is showing that bullish momentum is growing across the daily time frame.
Conclusion
Dogecoin is likely to remain under slight downside pressure over the short-term, while its medium-term outlook is decidedly bearish as buyers continually struggle to stage a rally above the neckline of the head and shoulder pattern.

Banks once refused to work with blockchain companies in Brazil. Now, BTG Pactual, Latin America’s largest standalone investment bank, is launching a security token of its own.
A Wave of Change in Brazil
There seems to be a wave of change happening in Brazil. Bitcoinist reported just a few days ago that Santander Bank was ordered by a Court to keep open Bitcoin Max’ checking account. Banks that were once hesitant to work with cryptocurrency exchanges are being forced to eat humble pie.
That marked a small victory for the cryptocurrency space in this part of the world. And now, it seems that financial institutions here are realizing the worth of digital assets within their own portfolios.
Banco BTG Pactual SA Is Leading the Way
Brazil’s Banco BTG Pactual, the largest standalone investment bank in the region, has announced that it will be entering the cryptocurrency space with its own security token, the ReitBZ.
With a plan to raise up to $15 million in its token sale, STO, initial offering, or whatever terminology you prefer, the bank will launch a security token backed by distressed real estate assets in Brazil.
The ReitBZ token will use blockchain technology. And investors will be able to buy it using the Winklevoss twins’ Gemini Dollar or ETH. The token is indisputably a security token since investors will receive dividends periodically from the recovery of the distressed assets.
Hold Up, What Are Distressed Assets?
A distressed asset is one that is put on sale at a reduced price because its owner has been forced to sell it. This may be due to excessive debt, bankruptcy, or regulatory constraints. And it’s especially common when it comes to real estate, a market in which during times of financial crises, people often fail to make their mortgage payments.
Distressed assets are an excellent opportunity to buy into a devalued asset and make gains as the market recovers. They’re not so awesome for the person forced to sell, of course, but this is capitalism, after all.
The BTG distressed real estate assets will be managed by a BTG subsidiary called Enforce. The ReitBZ token will be available worldwide. With the notable exception of the U.S. (surprise, surprise), and Brazil.
Wait, so investors around the world will be able to profit from the rising housing crisis in Brazil–but not the Brazilian people themselves? Right. How’s that for messed up?
BTG, however, assures that once the regulatory landscape clears up in Brazil, the ReitBZ will be open to its country’s citizens and maybe even the United States as well.
The Opportunity for High Yearly Returns
According to the bank, investors can expect yearly returns from these assets between 15-20 percent. Moreover, BTG will be providing market-making services for its token to ensure that investors have sufficient liquidity to sell when they want to.
CTO Gustavo Roxo told Bloomberg:
BTG is deploying its own capital to provide liquidity because it really believes in the crypto business… We came up with this structure because we think investors in the digital world have a higher risk-taking appetite.
By using a crypto asset, BTG can maximize returns from its distressed assets and allow investors to enter the market in a cheaper way. The initial sale period of ReitBZ will last for approximately 90 days and proceeds will be reinvested into the portfolio.
Banks and Cryptocurrencies Starting to Gain Momentum
The announcement comes off the back of the news last week that JPMorgan became the first U.S. bank to launch its own ‘cryptocurrency.’
With CEO Jamie Dimon well-known for ‘Bitcoin bashing’, JPMorgan introducing its own digital coin to accelerate payments was a shock to many in the industry.
However, JPMorgan and BTG are not the only horses in this race. It seems that the banks haven’t been falling asleep at the wheel when it comes to cryptocurrency after all. Japanese Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group started working on plans for their own token back in 2016. And now Brazil has stepped up to the plate.
BTG’s partner and initiative head of the ReitBZ Andre Portilho said:
We knew we needed to dominate this technology, so we started experimenting with it a few years back… We thought Bitcoin and other currencies were turning too volatile, but we saw an opportunity with this token to try something new–but also with our skin in the game.
The question now isn’t whether other banks will launch their own digital currencies, but rather which ones?
Will more banks follow with their own virtual currency? Share your thoughts below!
